May 2, 2015 Saturday Bird Walk
May is here! My favorite two birding months are now upon us and this morning was just the beginning. Many of the waterfowl are on their way out, but we still found a good variety collectively at the places we visited. Now, the songbirds will be flooding in! Some notable experiences from this morning were the Cooper's Hawk going after a mink, watching the ibis fly, osprey everywhere, and the red-tailed hawk and killdeer babies.
